Marisa Pieri, NCPS

Marisa Pieri is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of professional experience and an NCPS credential, a recognized professional qualification. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to self-esteem and motivation. Her practice also addresses issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and personality-related difficulties, autism spectrum presentations, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication and control problems, domestic violence, and substance use concerns.

Marisa approaches each person as the expert of their own story, building on existing strengths to help clients move through what holds them back. She emphasizes practical support and compassionate collaboration, helping people find clearer ways to cope and make meaningful changes. Taking the first step toward a more satisfying and balanced life can feel daunting, and Marisa offers steady encouragement and guidance throughout that process. Her work is aimed at helping clients increase confidence, improve relationships, and reduce the impact of stressful or traumatic experiences so they can pursue goals that matter to them.

She provides therapy in English and is open to working with international clients, offering flexible session formats to suit different needs and situations.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Marisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and understanding patterns that maintain distress. One approach emphasizes cognitive and skills-based work to help people identify unhelpful thinking and develop concrete coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Another strand of her work focuses on trauma-aware and relational methods that help explore the impact of past experiences on current relationships and emotional responses, useful for those dealing with abuse, attachment issues, or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Marisa will work with each client to identify goals, test what helps, and adapt techniques to match the individual’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Marisa can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, those living outside her area, or people who prefer different modes of communication. These options make it easier to sustain regular sessions, access support from wherever the client is located, and fit therapy into daily life with fewer logistical barriers.
